T O B •, E, Eminently Buited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks,, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market.' PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion,, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, In 1869. Got by Panic (imported); hia dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im«, ported), out of Miss Napier, by (imported) ; Mi.BS Napier's dam, Mrs, Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book,- Vol.II, p. 47.;, Panio was im« pbrted from England to Tasmania, and' put to the stud at 3 yrs. old.. He was trained and racecl : at 4, and again put to the stud, , When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where ho had two more seasons' training and racing;; He proved himself the best : English horse ever trained in Australia, lie ran remarkably; well, and won several rsjees, carrying heavy weights; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like: his sire, that firstclass English .racehorse. Alarm, "he waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the■ stud, * although from being in an out-of-the-way - place, he has not been favored by many iirst-cl'ass mares,, ho has got more wihnbra : out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. . In the breeding of PERTOBE there in a combination of. some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which cornea to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's sido there is, as well as hia good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Veliison, tlid : powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho value of this Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being, speedy and staying, but also to Its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain;' for although- some, others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, If any, can competo with Pantaloon as to numbers. _ A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite,. and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good .blood coming in through -The Pre« mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was; by Jerry, out of the Ardrbssari ' mare i(tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class raoer,' but also as the maternal ancestress of : England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz";;' tiie Newminsters): 1 The Dfcl&prfi blood is also very good indeed, i Delapr6'fl dam, Fortress, by Defencp, .was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertojje, f was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good,- he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, byiMercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania,, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known,'"-and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer maro, they oonsider that quite sufficient.

His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the stylo in which he carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, wero performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho inost exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order.; The soundness of his stock baabecome a, proverb" on the Australian Turf, and |the ancient ; Strop who won ; a race at 1 Launceston in February, is a living example.: Few horses haye gone through such an ordoal as Melbourne, another son at present peri forming at Queensland. The greatest of- all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son ; of .Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross' country horses, too numerous to men* tion,: are also descendants of tho son of Alarm." , • Tornis: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January," i ; 1880.
